Alex Belardo Kostiw





Alex Belardo Kostiw

Illinois

Alex is an interdisciplinary artist exploring strange parts and possibilities in the everyday, connections across time and space, and nebulous senses of self. Rooted in design, their work folds poetic elements into visual structures of comics and conceptually driven forms. It often invites intuitive, multimodal reading—even as it resists full unravelling.

Alex is an assistant professor in Visual Communication Design at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In addition to self-publishing, they interrogate comics as a medium and a space through installations. They live with two cats and many reams of paper.
